Vengeance

About Vengeance

"Vengeance" is a song written and performed by Carly Simon and produced by Arif Mardin. The song served as the lead single from Simon's eighth studio album Spy. The single was a moderate success on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, peaking right under the Top 40 at #48. Simon received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female in 1980, the first year to feature this category. Simon included the track on her two disc career compilation set Anthology (2002). Simon made a music video for the song, and MTV later used a clip from it in a commercial that enticed viewers to get stereo sound on their Television sets. The promotional clip was also chosen by Pioneer Electronics to be part of their first demo disc for its then-new LaserDisc player. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

That's dangerous driving baby, 
The policeman said.
I can smell the passion 
Of another man on your breath
I could give you life, get you back for what I saw
That's vengeance he said, that's the law

You throw your misdemeanors right up in my face
The kind of man I am, 
I got to put you right in your lace
I should lock you up, get you back for what I saw
That's vengeance he said, that's the law
That's vengeance, 
Oh that's vengeance
Yeah that's vengeance he said, that's the law

You've taken your half out of the middle
Time and time again
But now I'm damned if I'll give you and itch
Till I get even

She said: Just because you're stronger 
And you hold it over me
I'll put the pedal to the floor, 
And prove to you that I'm free
Though you've stopped me once again, 
It's not the end of the war
It's vengeance she said, that's the law
That's vengeance, that's vengeance she said,
That's the law
